Part 61: 7/1/09

7/1/09

I guess this is what they call the calm before the storm.



The full moon is almost upon us… Are you prepared?
Totally!
Good, I’m counting on you.
According to the cycle, it should appear on July 7th at midnight, six days from now.
And remember, incidents increase when a full moon is near, so remain alert at all times.

Junpei’s getting anxious about it.



When I was little, I used to count the days before important events.
Did you do that too?
Yeah.
So, are you ready for this big event? It’s not the same as when we were kids, is it?

Still I was having a pretty calm day until I walked into a huge argument in the Student Council room.



How many times do I have to explain? It’s like I’m talking to a moron…
Vice President: Why are you accusing ME? The cigarette butt was in the BOYS’ bathroom, right?
Can you prove that it wasn’t a girl who left it there?
Member: There’s just no reasoning with you!
> No one seems to agree with Hidetoshi.
> Everyone has left.
…What a bunch of Neanderthals…
…Aelita-kun, were you there the whole time?
They were all mean.
…Don’t hold it against them… They’re like children; they just don’t understand.
> Hidetoshi seems satisfied.
Sooner or later, they’ll see the light. Then, they’ll respect me.
I’m not isolating myself; I’m just being aloof. Sooner or later, someone always gets hurt in any relationship.
…I guess I’m preaching to the choir, though. I apologize.
> It seems like Hidetoshi is trying to be a good friend.
> You understand Hidetoshi better now.

I mean he’s definitely taking this too seriously but eliminating those of us in Student Council really should have been the first thing, I mean what if it WAS one of us, how bad would that look?



> It’s getting dark out.
…There’s no reason to have a meeting if no one’s here. Let’s go.
> You decided to go back to the dorm.

I just hope we don’t need to have Mitsuru solve this. Anyway, Akihiko also reminded me we’re getting close to another full moon. He actually seems kind of excited about it.



Did you hear? The next operation will be on July 7th.
That means it’s going to be a Star Festival special bout.

Anyway I’m going to try and actually get some sleep for once, because we’re going back into Tartarus again tomorrow night.
